ENG 502 - Theories of Teaching Composition Catalog Year 2009-2010
This course examines issues surrounding contemporary theories and
practices of teaching expository writing, considering the
pedagogical, political, linguistic, and psychological assumptions
which underlie them. Recent research as it addresses such topics as
the acquisition of language skills, strategies for the evaluation
of and response to writing, writing across the curriculum to
promote discovery and learning, and links between reading and
writing, speaking and writing, and critical thinking and writing
serves as a course focus. Through considering such issues, students
will develop criteria for choosing among the many approaches and
materials for teaching writing which compete for attention.
PREREQ: graduate standing or the permission of the instructor. OFFERED: Irregular CREDIT: 3
